chaired the Delaware County Committee of the New York Woman Suffrage Association,
Sixth District. The Committee, based in Delhi, N.Y. (the county seat of Delaware County)
formed in 1913. It includes materials distributed as part of its organizing efforts
together with reports on its success. The Sixth District was headed by Harriet B.
Owens, who received a Ph.D. in mathematics in 1910.
Includes (1) flyers and broadsides: "Attention!...Cakes for Sale" [ca. 1914]; "Votes
for Women 46th Annual Convention of the New York State Woman Suffrage Association
and General Conference of New York State Suffragists" [ca. 1914]; "Equal Suffrage
One Section of the State Wide Pilgrimage" [ca. 1914]; "TONIGHT Votes for Women Hancock
is highly honored to have Beatrice Forbes Robertson Hale..." [ca. 1914-1915]; "To-Morrow

[ca. 1915]: "Important Meeting Tonight!..." [ca. 1914-1915]; "Constitution Explained"
[ca. 1914-1915]; and, "To the Delegates of the National Woman Suffrage Association;"
(2) a suffrage enrollment mailing with a flyer ("Explanatory"), "All Year Round Resolutions
for Suffragists" by Alice Duer Miller; and an enrollment card with a blank return
envelope; (3) a fair copy of "The Widow's Thirds" by Aunt Patty, a verse monologue
dramatizing unfair probate laws which deny equity to widows and the typescript of
cheerful doggerel promoting "The Equal Suffrage Headquarters" available to all-comers
in Delhi; (4) three suffrage plays: typescript of Mrs. Frederic C. Howe's THE PERFECT
LADY; typescript of Florence Kiper's CINDERELLINE OR THE LITTLE RED SLIPPERS; and
a copy of Jessie Trimble's THE END OF THE BATTLE; (5) typescripts of drafts for speeches
and reports on grassroots initiatives in Delaware County, principally during 1914;
